My DD was just 5 when she lost her first... So I don't think it's uncommon. Poor little one is 6 1/2 now and has 3 loose... I have to cut all her food real small... and she reminds us every day that the tooth fairy will be coming soon! LOL

It's probably a little early but a lot of children lose their first at 5. Mine did. I know I did when I was a kid. Unless he hit it or something I wouldn't be too worried.

As far as I know he didn't fall or get hit or anything. He just came in the kitchen and started wiggling his tooth... It's kinda creepy... I almost puked. I always hated when my teeth were loose, and just the thought of it turns my stomach! But I want to make sure it's normal, I thought it was early...
